History & Status of the Fishery

Silver Lake is an 89-acre lake located southeast of Whipholt, Minnesota. A public access is located on the northeast shore of Silver Lake and is accessed by a minimum maintenance road that goes south off of Old Grade Road. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Silver Lake is in Lake Class 21; lakes in this class generally are very small, have soft water, and have a high amount of lake area less than 15 feet deep. This lake is managed primarily for largemouth bass and black crappie, and secondarily for northern pike and yellow perch. Silver Lake has a good population of largemouth bass, and fish up to 17 inches were sampled. Black crappie abundance was about average for this type of lake, and fish up to 11 inches were sampled. Northern pike abundance was similar to other lakes of this type. Northern pike up to 25 inches were sampled, however the average length of northern pike was 21 inches. Both largemouth bass grew more slowly in Silver Lake than in other Walker area Lake Class 21 waters, while the growth rate of northern pike was similar to that found in other lakes in this class. Pumpkinseed sunfish and yellow perch are also available for anglers. Anglers can help maintain or improve the quality of fishing by practicing selective harvest. Selective harvest allows for the harvest of smaller fish for table fare, but encourages release of medium- to large-sized fish. Releasing these fish can help maintain balance in the fish community in Silver Lake and provide anglers the opportunity to catch more and larger fish in the future.
